You will own infrastructure reliability, scalability, and security across our service portfolio while designing and building the interfaces and APIs that allow AI agents to interact with these services safely and at scale. This role combines deep infrastructure ownership with forward-looking platform engineering - maintaining Tier-1 services today while building the foundation for AI-powered engineering workflows. You will operate within AWS GovCloud under FedRAMP High requirements and partner with Amazon Leo Security and Global Trade & Compliance teams. Key job responsibilities Own and operate infrastructure across ALPINE's service portfolio, ensuring availability, performance, and security for Tier-1 services Design and deploy integration interfaces that expose ALPINE services to AI orchestration layers Implement authorization controls ensuring AI agents operate within user permission boundaries Drive infrastructure-as-code improvements, pipeline modernization, and deployment standardization across commercial and GovCloud environments Harden workloads with security best practices including network segmentation, TLS enforcement, and minimal-privilege configurations Implement authentication and policy enforcement at the integration layer Participate in on-call rotations; own operational excellence including runbooks, monitoring, and incident response Collaborate on architecture reviews, threat modeling, and security compliance reviews Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with integrated security gates Produce architecture documentation and integration specifications Identify and drive operational improvements through automation and improved observability A day in the life Your morning starts with the ALPINE operational dashboards; triaging overnight alarms, verifying AI-initiated queries respected classification retrieval gates, and confirming deployment pipeline health across the fleet. From there you shift into building: writing CDK to stand up a new MCP server, implementing token flows for transitive authorization, troubleshooting a canary failure caused by a certificate rotation, or designing cross-partition data paths that satisfy both network segmentation and AI-platform access requirements. The afternoon might find you in a design review sketching out how to safely expose SAP transaction data to the AI orchestration layer, rolling out a shared CDK construct across multiple Atlassian deployments, updating runbooks, or reviewing a teammate's PR for a new MCP integration. Every day spans the full stack; keeping Tier-1 production services healthy while building the connective tissue for AI-powered engineering workflows. ## Related Videos - [Building Systems that Last](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1389-building-systems-that-last) - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Fireside Chat with Werner Vogels, VP & CTO, Amazon.com & Daniel Gebler, CTO at Picnic](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1405-fireside-chat-with-werner-vogels-vp-cto-amazon-com-daniel-gebler-cto-at-picnic) - [Coroutine explained yet again 60 years later](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/690-coroutine-explained-yet-again-60-years-later) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [10 Highest Paying Programming Languages 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/150-10-highest-paying-programming-languages-2025) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [20 Essential Tools For Backend Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/218-20-essential-tools-for-backend-development) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
